Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'll take an African American coffee.
Come on 🤨
El americano es negro.🤨
Paparo Americano
You've just offended the Jamaican guy who doesn't have US citizenship.
That's okay, he won't be here for much longer come next year.
Literally no Latin or center American will be offended by the word negro
They didn't imply otherwise?
“Black” just works as a better term. It’s hilarious when people refer to black folks from other countries as “African American.”
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone offended by being called “black.”
If white is not offensive, why would black be offensive? It makes no sense.
"Black" being considered offensive was a thing in the late 90's, but it didn't last.
Yeah I remember an anecdote about two Americans on a beach referring to a black British man as something like "African American British" but it was even so long ago that I've forgot what they said exactly.
